RADIATOR FOR HEATING APPARATUS- Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed August 24,1906. Serial NO- 331,912.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, WILLIAM JAMES BUR- ROUGHES and WILLIAM J AMESBURROUGHES,

Jr., subjects of the King of GreatBritain, residing at 143 QueenVictoria street, London, England, have invented new and usefulImprovements in Radiators for Heating Apparatus, of which the followingis a specification.

Our invention relates to radiators of the kind used in connection withapparatus for heating buildings by means of hot water or steam.

Heretofore it has been a frequent custom to apply upon a radiator areservoir or tray for containing water which is gradually evaporated bythe heat emitted from the radiator so as to moisten the air. Thisarrangement, however, is more or less unsightly and, furthermore, theevaporation is usually very slow.

According to our invention we form the radiator coils with openings orrecesses to permit of a tray being inserted through the radiator, whichtray will thus not only be practically concealed from view but will alsobe so surrounded by the coils and in such close contact therewith that arelatively rapid evaporation of the water therein will take place.

To enable our invention to be fully understood we will describe the sameby reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is asectional front elevation, and Fig. 2 an end elevation partly in sectionof a radiator provided with our invention.

a, a are the coils or sections of the radiator, each of which, as shown,is provided with an aperture 1), which apertures, when a number ofsections are bolted together, form a recess for receiving a water tank0, which water tank is advantageously in'the form of a drawer whichextends through the radiator, as shown in Fig. 1 It will be noticed thatthis drawer although constructed to permit a large volume of vapor torise therefrom is only visible between the sec-- Patented June 4, 1907.

sented the drawer as being applied to radiator sections having triplepassages, it is to be understood that the invention is equallyapplicable to radiators having only twin passages or to any other formof radiator. It is also to be understood that the water tank or drawer,instead of being placed near the upper part of the coils, may be placedat the lower part thereof or at any intermediate position and that thedrawer, instead of being of rectangular section, may be of circular,oval or any other desirable form.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our saidinvention and in what mannerthe same is to be performed, we declare thatwhat we claim is The combination with a radiator comprising a series ofvertically disposed fiat sections arranged side by side, certain of saidsections adjacent to one another being provided with horizontally alinedopenings extending therethrough, of a receptacle fitting within saidopenings in said sections, said sections being so arranged that saidreceptacle may be inserted and withdrawn through the section at one endof the radiator while a section at the inner end ofsaid receptacle formsa stop therefor, substantially as described.
